Abstract

The most common user authentication method for restricted resource access has been passwords. The fundamental problem with passwords is their strength or quality, or how easily or difficult they can be "guessed" by an outsider wishing to gain access to a resource you have access to by impersonating you. In this article, we examine multiple metrics related to password quality, one of which we have also suggested, and evaluate their advantages, disadvantages, and connections. We also experimented with cracking a series of passwords of varying complexity. The results of the experiments show that the quality of the passwords and their guess ability are positively correlated.
